Erica Synths Releases New Fusion Modules

US VCF3 and Modulator make their debut 22/04/20

Erica Synths has released two new Fusion series modules: VCF3 and Modulator. This is what they have to say about them...

The Fusion VCF3 is resonant 24dB/oct lowpass filter of unique design that combines vacuum tubes and vactrols providing distinct, soft filtering.

For more versatility, the independent audio mixer and buffered multiple is incorporated in the module, and, most importantly – a CV recorder that records motion of the potentiometer, so you can design advanced modulation patterns.

Features:

Fully analogue design

Vacuum tube and vactrol based filter circuit. Because of vactrol lag,

the VCF will not accept audio rate modulation, the maximum

modulation frequency is 10Hz

Input signal mixer with gain 2 for signal overdrive

Buffered multiple for splitting audio and CV signals

Potentiometer motion record unit with CV and gate outputs

Recorded CV multiplication and division

Fusion Modulator is a complex, all analogue modulation source with lots of distinct features. It consists of several blocks – two EMS Synthi functionality inspired looping envelope generators with simultaneous unipolar (0V-10V) and bipolar (-5V-+5V), VCA, Noise generator and Sample&Hold.

This makes Fusion Modulator a versatile modulation source for advanced modular setups, especially drone music oriented ones. Set lopping envelope generators to high frequencies and have two sub bass sound sources, use VCA to control the amplitude of the envelope signal, modulate the decay time by random voltages from S&H circuit and get ever evolving sonic awesomeness!

Features:

Fully analogue design

Two looping envelope generators with Attack, On, Decay and Off time control

CV control over Decay time

Simultaneous unipolar (0V-10V) and bipolar (-5V - +5V) envelope outputs

Manual trigger button

End of Cycle output

VCA with the offset control

Zener diode based white noise source

Sample&Hold circuit with internal and external clock source
